“The Artist’s Way” Art Journal Course

The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron is more than a book; it’s a life changer. This course – it’s a twelve week experience not just a class – is an agent of creative awakening! We will meet for 2.5 hours on August 26, and you can choose to continue coming to the studio for 12 weeks or go at your own pace at home. I’m providing 12 technique videos to everyone who signs up.

You will get:

• A copy of the book
• A fresh new art journal that’s a bit heftier than usual
• A notebook for your Morning Pages
• A smooth writing gel pen
• A large Creativity Bundle to take with you
• Art Journal Primer
• Access to 12 videos showing techniques

We start with a 2.5 hour class on Saturday, August 26. We start by getting into the book for a short overview and discussion, and pick up supplies, learn some techniques to get you started with the art part of journaling, and spend time creating. After this class, you’ll be granted access to the videos.

For those who choose the “all classes” option, we will meet for the following 12 weeks, on either Wednesdays from 1-2:30pm, or Saturdays 2:30-4:00pm to use studio materials, work in your journals, and try new techniques and tools. These are the same techniques as you’ll see in the videos. You can do either the Saturday or the Wednesday Open studios. (If you have to switch some weeks that is fine, we’ll work it out).

So you can take this course in one of 4 ways:

1. Just do the August 26 class with the book, materials + access to videos
2. Just do the August 26 class with NO book (if you have a copy), materials + access to videos
3. All Access -August 26 and twelve weekly classes with book materials + access to videos
4. All Access- August 26 and twelve weekly classes NO book (if you already have a copy) materials + access to videos

REVIEWS

I absolutely loved the Art Journaling through the Artist’s Way course at Studio 127! There was so much to explore through the book that I actually took it twice. Monica is a gem and the open studio sessions are always inclusive and fun. I have enjoyed meeting some wonderful ladies and am grateful for the sense of community in the studio. The Artist’s Way is a revelation and not just for artists. Anyone who wants to explore their creativity will benefit from the class. I cannot recommend this course enough! – Beth

In her course on Art Journaling through the Artist’s Way, Monica Yother introduced me to a whole new world of creativity and self-discovery. She is a gentle, empathetic teacher, who introduces techniques with practical, easy-to-follow demonstrations. I came to her class with only a tiny notion of what art journaling could be, but in the year since I took her course, I have continued to do my “morning pages” and give myself “artist’s dates.” I credit Monica with helping me learn this new practice that can feed my creative soul every day. This is not a “paint-by-number” class where everyone follows a formula to turn out the same product in the style of the teacher. Monica, even as she journals alongside her students, encourages everyone to explore and find what works for them! – Susan
